Gluten Free & Dairy Free Three Bean Kale and Chicken Sausage Soup

Use any type of canned beans you happen to have on hand, and add rotisserie chicken or Italian sausage for a heftier dish, if you prefer. Or, omit the meat all together for a perfectly satisfying vegetarian dish.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1 cup chopped carrot

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped fennel bulb

1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided

2 garlic cloves, minced

8 cups organic vegetable or chicken broth

7 cups chopped kale

12 ounce package of your favorite gluten free chicken sausage

3 cans (15 ounce) cans no-salt-added beans, rinsed, drained

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Directions:

Heat a large stalk pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and fennel and sauté 6 minutes or until tender.

I've been on a gluten free diet since January 2009. It's been an adventure, and a challenge at times. I love to go to new restaurants and try new foods, and being gluten free can make eating out difficult at times. But I will not let my dietary restrictions get in my way of finding new restaurants and products. These are my stories of being a young women in a big city, eating out and trying new foods, all while NOT eating gluten. Like I said, it's an adventure and you are welcome to come along... Please note that as I try to eat gluten free 100% of the time, my intolerance is not as severe as others so please use caution when dining at restaurants that are not certified gluten free.
